HOP ON HOP OFF SIGHTSEEING BUS KYOTO

ABOUT US

“Hop on/off +vehicle” means to “jump on the vehicle/jump off the vehicle”. This means that you can just jump on the bus and visit tourist sites (via the bus stop), and the casual and free nature of this is expressed in the popular name “hop”. This is a convenient bus where, provided you buy a special pass, you can get on and off as many times as you like as long as you do this during the set period/time.

Nishihongan-ji Temple (Kyoto Tokyu Hotel)
Nishi Hongan-ji temple is the head temple of the Hongan-ji school of the Judo Shinshu sect, and was built by Kakushinni, the daughter of Shinran Shonin, to pray for the soul of her father, and is designated as a world Heritage site. You can always visit Amida-do Hall, Goei-do Hall, Karamon Gate, etc., and the interesting highlight is the “buried tree” in the corridior of Ameda-do Hall and Goei-do Hall. It seems to be a playful spirit of a shrine carpenter, but trees shaped like Mt. Fuji, gourds, eggplants, etc. are buried, so please look for it by all means. It would be nice upload sns photos of Karamon and buried trees together.
